This model features a high-performance, four-head Hi-Fi VCR, providing a perfect solution for consumers who maintain both DVD and VHS libraries. The unit offers a sleek, silver design that complements existing components in an entertainment system, plus a full array of home theater ready connections, including digital audio outputs. Optical and coaxial outputs provide full compatibility with Dolby Digital and DTS digital systems. In addition, readily accessible front-panel audio/video inputs permit easy connection from a camcorder for simple dubbing of home movies to the VHS deck.More than just all-in-one player, the SD-V391 is packed with convenience features designed to simplify the interface between the user and the player. This model allows playback of a DVD while simultaneously recording a TV broadcast on VHS. Consumers with an interest in digital photography will find this Toshiba "dual deck" model a perfect complement to their hobby. The SD-391 incorporates a JPEG feature that makes it easy to view digital photo shots from a variety of digital cameras. The SD-V391 model offers compatible playback of a variety of optical content including DVD-Video, DVD-R, audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW and Video CD as well as MP3 software files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW disks. For enhanced picture quality during VHS playback, the 4-head Hi-fi VCR utilizes a pair of 19-micron video heads which deliver exceptional (near SP) picture quality of content recorded and played back in the extended play (EP) mode.

Amazon.com Product Description

The progressive-scanning SD-V391 is a convenient, one-unit source for high-quality DVD and VHS entertainment. The DVD deck plays a variety of optical content, including DVD-Video, DVD-R, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and video CD, as well as MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) music files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs. A four-head, hi-fi VCR provides exciting stereo playback for your entire library of VHS tapes. You can even copy non-Macrovision-protected DVDs to videotape--perfect for sharing edited, DVD-based home movies with loved ones.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SD-V391 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The SD-V391 also performs 3:2 pulldown (Toshiba's Digital Cinema Progressive). DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Into digital photography? This dual-deck model is a perfect complement to your hobby. Its JPEG feature makes it easy to view digital photo shots burned to recordable CDs from a variety of digital cameras. The unit's array of home-theater-ready video connections includes composite-, S-video, and ColorStream Pro component-video outputs (the VCR requires its own composite-video or RF audio/video connection). The DVD player's internal digital-to-analog converters work at 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution to ensure optimum sonic quality from a range of digital program material.

Two sets of left/right analog-audio outputs (one each for the DVD player and the VCR) channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals from DVDs can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. In addition, readily accessible front-panel AV inputs permit easy connection for a game console or a camcorder for simple dubbing of home movies to the VHS deck.

For enhanced picture quality during VHS playback, the four-head hi-fi VCR uses a pair of 19-micron video heads, which deliver exceptional (near SP) picture quality of content recorded and played back in the extended play (EP) mode. Commercial skip lets you pass over commercials during playback. Other features include one-year, eight-event programming, high-speed (200x) rewind and fast-forward, index skip, auto head cleaner, and auto clock set--no more flashing "12:00"!

What's in the Box
DVD player/VCR, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and a coaxial video cable.

Combo Deck.......2007-01-03

The DVD deck faild on this unit in less than one year. I have been a loyal Toshiba customer for years, but after using this unit, which has been unreliable for quite a while now, I will be shopping for other brands.

Toshiba is sending me a new unit!!.......2004-06-25

I bought mine in Oct. of 2003. I have the same problem with the DVD player that others have been complaining about. I called Toshiba and a VERY nice lady is sending me a new updated model as soon as I send in my old unit. The trick is to call Toshiba's Customer Service number (800) 631-3811.

This certainly is much better than Panasonic or Sony has treated me in the recent past with my VCR players. I highly recommend anything Toshiba!!!

Loved it till it broke.......2004-06-07

Loved the easy hook-up, easy use of remote, looked nice and played fine. Purchased 11-06-03, and the DVD part stopped without warning 05-29-04. The kids never touched this one; it was all for Mommy and therefore subject to only gentle use. Now if you put a DVD in, it takes a long time to load, then comes up "ERR." And now the door makes a grinding noise when it opens. Severely disappointed, heartbroken, etc. Apparently VCRs, DVD players, and these combo units are meant to be disposable - work six months and then discard. If so, we may as well disregard brand names and buy the cheapest ones available. Forget quality, reliability, and pride of workmanship - those are things of the past.

Globalization: You get what you pay for (and deserve).......2004-05-04

Like cheap prices on products made in China? Do you actually expect them to work like Japanese electronics manufactured in the 1980's just because the Japanese brand is printed on the cabinet? Get real. There's no such a thing as a free-lunch. DVD margins are too low. So is quality. Period.

If your unit is misbehaving, try to cool it off. I have two of these gizmos (one upstairs and one downstairs), and I when I re-arranged my cabinets to give them more air and when I run them with the cabinet doors open, they behave. When they warm up, they stop running properly. Both units suffer from a heat-related transient defect that probably comes from mediocre manufacturing quality and components.

All this delight derives from paying employees $400 per year and keeping them in working conditions that would scare an American coal miner during the 1890's.

Great buy (better with Amazon).......2004-04-22

I bought the player even though there were problems with its DVD draw. The player I received also had the same problem. The DVD draw wouldn't open up. I wrote to Amazon customer service and got a reply in 24 hours. They shipped me a new one which got to me in 2 days. This one works fine. So if you don't mind the bother of exchanging (in case you have a problem) I would say go for it. Its a great player.

2 years out and going in the trash........2006-08-05

With good care of DVD's and limited use, this unit started showing alot of DVD play problems at 18 months. Many DVD's would not play at all, or would take several attempts to play, even ones directly out of the box.

At 21 months, DVD completely unusable, and heading to the donation pile.

Very disappointed, nice looking unit, with decent interface controls. Cannot recommend at all.

Cassette ejection problem.......2006-03-27

I received this unit as a Christmas gift 2004 and have had no problem with the DVD door. However, twice a cassette has become stuck in the VCR. The first time I was able to get it out, but this time no luck. I tried unplugging the unit and trying the eject button again without success. Next step to call Toshiba for assistance, if no help no more Toshiba products

Hunk of Junk!.......2005-06-06

After reading positive reviews about this set have had nothing but problems when trying to view DVD's. Stutters, freezes, and stops playing DVD's either new or rented. It might work 50% of the time. It might be just my unit but I'm very dissatisfied with this model.

DO NOT BUY.......2005-01-18

DVD got so many problems. Just don't buy this one. Noises, recognition problems... I should have a Samsung one instead; Japanese product doesn't guarantee the quality.

ASIN: B00002EQCG

Product Description

This 2-way 6" bookshelf loudspeaker with high-impact molded enclosure reproduces sound with unmatched clarity and power. The PolyPlas (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone woofer features traditional JBL engineering; the same technologies used in JBL's Professional equipment that can be found in stadiums, music halls and movie theaters around the world.

Amazon.com Review

JBL has been building speakers for the world's theaters, concert halls, and recording studios for over 50 years. Its achievements and customer satisfaction have earned the company a 70-percent share of the professional loudspeaker market. Of course, JBL builds speakers for the home, too, and a great deal of JBL's pro technology makes its way into the Northridge series.

All Northridge models use 0.75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeters as well as woofers made of JBL's trademark PolyPlas (a polymer-coated cellulose fiber). The drivers boast oversized Kapton voice coils and HeatScape motor structures, which give the innards a high tolerance for heat. Translation: the speakers will handle a fair amount of amplifier power. Within each speaker, these drivers are optimized for their respective frequency bands by JBL's Straight-Line Signal Path crossover networks. Traditionally, the purer the signal path, the better the sound, and this maxim seems borne out by the N26 bookshelf model.

You can mount the modestly sized N26s on a wall, either vertically or horizontally, using JBL's optional wall-mount brackets. If you want to place your N26s on a bookshelf, a small support stand unfolds from the bottom of the speaker, and JBL provides adhesive-backed nonskid pads to increase stability.

The N26s' deep-gray cabinet has been molded with a bow-shaped back; the resultant asymmetrical enclosure helps prevent the buildup of internal standing waves. (Standing waves are sound waves that interfere with one another, resulting in too-loud or too-quiet sound at various frequencies.)

The knitted cloths over the grilles perfectly match the cabinet color, creating a warm and friendly look that's attractive in a functional, no-nonsense sort of way. Removing the grilles reveals the titanium-laminate tweeters, the 6-inch woofers (dyed silver to match the tweeters), and JBLs FreeFlow ports, which are flared to avoid the port noise, or "chuffing," that colors the sound of many vented cabinets.

We were pleased to see JBL uses real five-way binding posts for speaker terminals, as opposed to the cheaper spring-loaded terminals found on countless other moderately priced speakers. Five-way posts not only make a tighter, more sure connection, but they also accept spade lugs and banana plugs, thus allowing the use of heavy gauge or specialty speaker wires.

We placed the magnetically shielded N26s on stands to either side of our rear-projection television and proceeded to give them the full sonic-torture test with both music and movies.

Starting with favorite jazz CDs, we were immediately impressed by the naturalness of the N26s' midrange. Pianos, so notoriously difficult to get right, sound surprisingly realistic with the N26 and show off this speaker's natural balance, detail, and harmonic complexity. We also like the N26s' ability to throw a wide soundstage, with well-placed sonic images and a strong sense of three-dimensionality.

Rock music lets them strut like Mick Jagger and reveals an honest bass response down into the 50-to-60 Hz region. We do have a slight criticism: although vocals through the N26s exhibit excellent overall balance, they sometimes sound a tad veiled or diminished in presence. On the other hand, with classical CDs, we love the nuance, texture, and expression of a solo cello flowing from the speakers, while with symphonic music, these speakers show a combination of refinement and power.

DVD movies and music videos are even more fun to listen to. We put the N26s in "phantom" center mode to get a sense of home theater through just this pair of speakers, along with another pair for surround sound. In this four-channel configuration the N26s proved especially adept at reproducing movie soundtracks. Dialogue was clear and easy to understand, and dynamics were fairly explosive with moderate amplifier power. Surround details were abundant; these speakers produce a well-integrated and expansive sonic panorama.

The N26s have a lot going for them. Their inherent neutrality, detail, and dynamic range are the hallmarks that have made JBL so successful in the professional audio world. --Wayne Garcia

Pros:

Remarkable detail and texture
Good tonal balance
Excellent component parts
Flexible mounting options

Cons:

Vocals sound slightly veiled

Excellent small room speakers, amazing sound!.......2002-04-03

These speakers are AMAZING!!! I have it hooked up to my mini-system, and they produce some of the best sound I have ever heard in a speaker. They are the equivelent to the floorstanding JBL's I have in my living room for a bedroom. I was shocked at the sound they put out for their small size. The highs, mids, and lows are all great on this speaker. I would recommend them to anyone, this is a great deal!!!

Highflyer46.......2001-05-04

I recently bought the N26's to replace JBL's N24's. I am totally impressed with the sound and performance of these speakers. I use them as rear speakers for surround sound. The clarity is outstanding by far. Wouldn't recommend them for the front speakers, but outstanding for the rear! Great price for such a great deal. Kinda hard to find a place to sit them unless you acctually have a bookcase behind you. It is a must to buy speaker stand or a heavy duty wall bracket. Good luck and good listening!

Perfect speaker for a high end home theater system.......2000-08-24

I wouldn't insult my ears by using these speakers as my sole sound output device, mostly couse I've gone all but deaf from their big brothers the N-Center and the N-310's, they do on the other hand make great rears for them...They do (when I shut off the other 7 speakers) sound awsome, although their small size and High-sensitivity make them hiss at high volumes

Rass damn good!.......2000-06-17

Just bought these speakers, they are bloodclaat wicked.Great for Blasting Marilyn Manson and Reggae, dont need weed to rock myself, these speakers are doing the job. JBL AGAIN 4-EVER! .

Great Speakers, Work Great!.......2000-05-09

I bought these speakers just recently, and they work great!. They have very good bass, and the treble sounds excellent. They are great mid priced speakers, better than all the other mid priced ones. They can go very loud distortion free. I recommend these to everyone. Good price for good speakers. JBL did good.
